Fan Favorite: Having What You Want Part 1 | With Kim's Sister Allisyn Lambes Jul 06, 2023

Show notes

My sister Allisyn is back by popular demand with one of our most popular episodes from last season, and she opens up about the manifestation techniques that have changed her life. Allisyn and I are both manifesters. We envision a better life for ourselves and then we make it happen. It’s not magic, and it takes work, but once you master manifesting, anything is possible for you. The saying is: when God closes a door he opens up a window. I don’t believe that. When God closes a door, baby he builds a new building.

You’re thinking too small nine times out of ten!

In part one of this hilarious and meaningful two-part episode we get down to the nitty gritty of how-to begin manifesting with these 3 steps:

1. Vision it

2. Define what you want

3. Clean up your clutter

We share stories from our firsthand experiences, including how I manifested becoming Miss Georgia at the age of sixteen from a payphone, and how Allisyn went from a painful divorce to manifesting her teddy-bear husband.

This episode is full of easy tips to teach you how to clean up the clutter in your life and manifest your dreams, whether it be a better partner, obtaining a new job, or becoming a Victoria Secret model. The sky’s the limit!

Topics:

I answer a listener question on how to start your own business
What manifestation means to us
The three steps of manifestation
Allisyn and I share manifestation stories
The connection between work and manifestation
How to clean up the clutter in your life

Lia opens up about growing up in homeless shelters and the advice that her mom gave her that changed the course of her life and started her down the path to success. Lia had to learn the hard way that your circumstances do not define who you are. She is a master of seeking out the light, speaking out your dreams, and encouraging those around you.

Our circumstances don't mess us up, they make us up. Whatever your situation, you can find the confidence and light you need to keep working towards your goals. So get ready to be inspired this week with Lia Valencia Key on the Kim Gravel Show.

Lia, who was raised in an underprivileged area of Philadelphia, shared a homeless shelter with her mother, sister, and brother. Lia's mother advised her to always leave the house wearing her sparkling earrings since they would serve as a constant reminder of her inner light and the potential she possessed.
